UNDERSTANDING KINGDOM ECONOMICS

Romans 13:8
Proverbs 13:11

God wants it to be well with your finances but you have to know it. 3John 2.
God wishes to bless your personal economy, but you, as a child of God needs to know it is part of God's will for you. Deuteronomy 28:1-13

The world we live in has it's own financial economic system. The world we live in has it's own way of bringing and creating wealth for those who line up to it's way of operating.
The Kingdom of God also has it's own financial and economic system which sons and daughters of God need to operate to get the results in the area of money and economics that He wants them to get. Luke 16:8

Let's understand this, lack does not glorify God.
On the other hand we are not supposed to feel guilty when we don't have money or when we have worked so hard and streams of income is not flowing in our direction.

What we need to do is make up our minds not to be ignorant of what God wants us to have or be.
We are here on earth to bring God pleasure and bring God glory.
The Bible tells us God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. Psalm 35:27

What is prosperity?
Prosperity is an all encompassing Word.
Prosperity refers to your well being. Prosperity is your well being in all areas of your life.

Your finances/your economy is an aspect of your prosperity. Other aspects of your prosperity include:
a) your health
b) your state of mind, emotions and will
c)  your social life
d) your spiritual life (your relationship with God)

Your finances are important. When your finances or economic condition is out of place it affects or disturbs other areas of your life.

A statistic shows that 80% of divorces on earth today is financial related.
A couple who love  each other dearly and vowed before God and men that they will be loyal to each other and spend the rest of their lives together all of a sudden become rivals, enemies and start trading insults, disrespecting each other over issues linked to money.
Saints of God, let's not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan doesn't attack the finances of God's children for nothing.
There is a reason Satan attacks the finances of church assemblies.

Money/finances play a crucial part in your life and affairs and it's part of the reason your personal economy is important to God.
The Bible talks more about money than hell.
The reason for this is because the stress of financial issues takes people away from God and stops them from living the life God wants them to live.
God's work and assemblies should be cities of prosperity. Zechariah 1:17
Your finances is important because one day you will give an account of your life to God.
We are stewards of everything God gives to us including our finances. Matthew 25:14-30

Many people see teachings that touch on finances as  materialistic messages. This wrong thinking.
People who think this way might as well accuse God of being materialistic since the Bible instructs so much about finances, giving and our intentions around money.
The prosperity message is an obedience message, it's not a carnal message.
There are instructions around money/finances that have to be obeyed before we get results.
We will do well to know them and look into them.
The financial empowerment message is not intended to turn people into lovers of money, our love is for God but the purpose of the message is to show us our rights and tackle a very important issue. Ecclesiastes 5:10

If we are going to fulfill our dreams, carry out our assignments, preach the gospel, make an impact, we will have to have the resources to do so.
It is through prosperity the gospel is spread.

There are unbelievers who prosper financially because they follow the rules and laws of financial prosperity knowingly or unknowingly.
God respects the laws and principles He set into place.
There are Kingdom laws or instructions that if known and followed can create your financial abundance

How do we tap into Kingdom Prosperity?
1) Giving to the poor- Luke 12:33
2) Tithing- Malachi 3:10
3) Use creativity- Proverbs 8:12
4) Generosity with wisdom- 1 Timothy 6:18, Deuteronomy 15:7
5) Work hard- Proverbs 10:4, Proverbs 12:27
King Solomon a very wise King was an advocate of hard work. Work brings wealth when one is wise.
6) Be part of God's Kingdom- Colossians 1:13
7) Meet needs/solve problems- 1 Peter 5:2,3

God frowns at dishonest means of making money. Exodus 22:25, Deuteronomy 23:19

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or
